Pain Treatment Non-pharmacologic and non-opioid treatments are preferred over opioid use for chronic pain management (1). Image-guided pain management techniques and have evolved in recent years to provide better pain management for more patients (2). Minimally invasive pain management procedures are typically performed in with musculoskeletal- related chronic pain and cancer patients who experience cancer-related pain. However, venous and arterial disease and postoperative scar tissue are important causes of pain that require treatment. In patients with osteoarthritis, a wide range of procedures exist for diagnosis of conditions that lead to pain (such as joint aspiration) to treatment of hyperactive nerves and reduction of blood flow to decrease joint inflammation. Post-operative pain can also be treated by identifying and treating nerves affected by scar tissue that produce pain, such as patients with groin pain after hernia repair surgery. Cancer related pain can lead to decreased mobility, appetite, quality of life and performance status. Minimally invasive image-guided interventions range from neurolysis for abdominal pain in pancreatic cancer and cryoablation of bone metastases producing pain. Consultation with an Interventional Radiologist in the UMCNO IR Clinic is part of evaluation and management for patients who require interventions treatment of chronic pain. We work closely with Palliative Medicine physicians provide a holistic approach to patients who are in pain.
